143397P.pdf 08/21/2015 Humphrey Etenyi v. Loretta E. Lynch
U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3397
Petition for Review of an Order of the Board of Immigration Appeals
[PUBLISHED] [Gruender, Author, with Melloy and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Petition for Review - immigration. Because substantial evidence supports
the BIA's finding that Eteni falsely claimied citizenship on a Form I-9
when he applied for a job in 2009 and thus was ineligible for adjustment
of status, the petition for review is denied. The immigration judge's
factual finding regarding credibility is entitled to deference and the
evidence does not compel a contrary conclusion. The BIA employed the
proper standard of review and the Form 1-9 was sufficient evidence.
Because Etenyi is inadmissible for permanent residence he is ineligible
for relief in the form of an adjustment of status.
